    I've only got lawns, no flower beds, no greenhouse, no time.:(
    Hopefully one day that will change, ;)

    I cheat nowa days and get shrubs, climbers and bedding plants from Aldi. I've got some fantastic Hebe Vernicosa and Hibiscus from them.

    Well it's now June and looks like my tomato plants won't be coming to much...

    Raspberry canes and little pear tree ok but everything else rubbish.

    Last year tomato plants shot up to 7ft!!

    Yes half way through the year, tomatoes are growing now but a bit behind last year but should catch up. My fuchsias are starting to move now as well thanks to the nights being a bit warmer so they catch up in the end.
    Funny the weather never seems to hold the weeds back though:(

    Nearly all my tom plants have started to twist and droop. Well watered and away from frost and5-6 inches high.Is my problem a parasite attacking the roots? Same seed as last year when no probs. Any ideas?
